Marriage Tip 35. Choose your words
The specific words you use can make an incredible difference in
what you say and how it is received.
It's all too easy in married life to add unnecessary negative words
to what you're saying.
And we're not just talking about effing and blinding.
Using word like 'never' and 'always' is also not helpful.
For example saying to your husband, "you never do
the dishes" is simply not effective.
It will only put him on the defensive and lead to a further argument.
Instead, be specific and say, "Could you please do the dishes
for me tonight."
